Spears don't like look like spears on film. Especially three-pronged.

"Up and down," Meera would sigh sometimes as they walked, "then down and up. Then up an down again. I hate these stupid mountains of yours, Prince Bran."
"Yesterday you said you loved them."
"Oh, I do. My lord father told me about mountains, but I never saw one till now. I love them more than I can say."
Bran made a face at her. "But you just said you hated them."
"Why can't it be both?" Meera reached up to pinch his nose.
"Because they're different," he insisted. "Like night and day, or ice and fire."
"If ice can burn," said Jojen in his solemn voice, "then love and hate can mate. Mountain or marsh, it makes no matter. The land is one."
"One," his sister agreed, "but over wrinkled."

Just watched the Season 1 finale. So much WTF!?!?!? in the final 2 episodes. I just started watching this show 3 or 4 days ago and I am completely won over. I can't even begin to imagine what is going to happen next. I will check back in on this thread once I have finished Season 2.

Yes. That moment is quite possibly the biggest shock I've had in my reading history. I can't wait to see it, both from a story standpoint and to witness the reaction of people who don't know it's coming.
